Morland was born in London, the 3rd son (of 6 children) of Henry Robert Morland (c. 1719–1797), artist, engraver and picture restorer. At a very early age Morland produced sketches of remarkable promise, exhibiting some at the Royal Academy in 1773, when he was but ten years old. He continued to exhibit at the Free Society of Artists in 1775 and 1776, and at the Society of Artists in 1777, then at the Royal Academy in 1778, 1779 and 1780.
